48 views

To delete all data from Twitter, you need to deactivate your account first through the account settings menu on your profile. This action initiates the process, but keep in mind, deletion is not immediate. Twitter holds onto your data for 30 days post-deactivation, allowing a grace period for reactivation. If you're looking to eliminate tweets alone, third-party applications exist to bulk delete tweets. However, for complete data removal, deactivate your account and wait out the 30-day period.
